Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 10, 2010

Here is a screen shot from the HBO comedy series “The Life and Times of Tim.”

Remind you of a certain story arc?

This is getting more exciting every day!

Good morning all.

I just may pass out from all this excitment….. ‘Morning Bill and FlightSuit.

“We’re invited to an island off the English coast.

Ten of us!

And it’s signed U N Owen!”

(any mystery buffs out there?)

One mystery is how many times we get to see that picture of the house before this is over.

Only the strong survive here, margueritem. Hang in there… we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

I’m amazed the house doesn’t have a large sign that says Dick Tracy Hdqrts

Dick is compelled to tell Tess what the invitation says-hasn’t she looked at it?

“Murder by Death”?

Dick walks in the door, and the host blurts out a confession and shoots Tess in the ankle.

There. Next story line.

So he’s not a real detective, he only plays one in a comic strip?

while i look in on this strip only occasionally, i’ve gotta say this is a really lame version of the great tracy strip. it almost breaks my heart. i’d rather read reruns from the glory days than this drivel. just my 2 cents fwiw.

No. Agatha Christie, “Ten Little Indians.”

Maybe Judge Parker and Rex Morgan will be invited too, oh and Mary Worth , shes kind of like that lady from Murder she wrote sounds like a fun (if extremely slow moving ) party!

“Ten Little Indians” has an alternate title, “And Then There Were None.” There were at least 4 different movie versions.

As if I didn’t know. :)

I always wondered about that Murder she wrote show didn’t the Cops ever get suspicious that someone died everywhere that lady went? Once or twice..ok but for ten years !

I’m waiting for the day we get a three panel strip with the Symphony Hall in #1, Police Hdqrts in # 2 and the House in # 3 Its gonna happen eventually.

Yup, “And then there Were None” it is. And “Murder by Death” had two characters based on Christie’s two main sleuths.

I was thinking that book might be an interesting storyline for the upcoming Tracy adventure.
